Does anyone know about Rijas out of Claremore?

[Honey Badger]

Or the W. Mc. threads.

Yep.... thosee too.

They were setup at Superdave's Ardmore show in Ardmore. I made it point to stand in front of their booth, point directly at the D-bag behind the tables and laugh manically.

He just stared at me, and went back to playing on his cell phone.

I'm pretty sure they are talking about cryogenically treated, and not fired at that temps. Some barrells are, and its benefits are up for discussion.

Cryotreating steel is done around -195C. Nowhere near -273.15C.

We used liquid nitrogen to freeze frogs. They break like glass when thrown on concrete.

A barrel will do the same any near that temp.

The reasons you shouldn't buy from Rijas abound but here are some that came to me in a matter of seconds:

1. They are liars, if they lie to you on the first encounter how can you trust their warranty? (Would you buy a car from a dealer who lied to you?)
2. They have no clue what they are selling is capable of in terms of accuracy, yet make wild guarantees. Or they do know and guarantee anyway.
3. You can buy a way better gun (Colt, S&W, Sig Sauer) for less money at your local Walmart
4. That gun(Colt, S&W, Sig Sauer) at Walmart still carries a limited lifetime warranty
5. Their prices are too high, on everything, not just AR's.


I think the member who mentioned rhino sex earlier probably said it best though.


How did firing rounds down barrels at -273 C come into this discussion? Does Rijas seriously tell people that the rifles are fired with the barrels at -273 C?

The barrels may be cryotreated but there is no doubt in my mind that no barrel manufacturer in any part of their quality program sends live rounds, or any kind of rounds for that matter through a barrel at Cryotreat temps. To do so would be idiotic at best and suicidal at worst.

What else is their to know about them? Ya'll basically just told me to stay away from them, but why? Other than the overpriced AR-15, which they CLAIM can get 1/2 MOA at 1000 yards.

Check out the below comments:

Rijas build good $600 rifles, but their claim to accuracy is bullspit. That lifetime warranty is also bullspit. Parts have a manufacturers warrantee, but given that douchebags willingness to bust out a dremel on the bolt locking lugs to make it fit the chamber... (I swear, I have seen it in person! and the blown up rifle they often display with the 'we even warrantee this' banner over it is what came of it)... Rijas is the type of dealer that deserves a full on westboro-ish flash mob at every gunshow they spit their dribble at.

If their rifles are so good, why would they need to cobble them together to make them work?

They asked me if I was a member of any forums so I could get other peoples words for it, and I said OSA. They told me something along the lines of "well don't ask there. OSA members are a bunch of grumpy know it alls. Try some other forums, blah-blah-blah."

This is the only forum I am on so I don't want to join any others. I like you guys here.

I was kind of shocked they called us grumpy know it alls though.

One of the "local" gun show promoters (name starts with "M," I think) also called the OSA forum members a disreputable name as well. Considering Rijas' and the promoter's, I think we can all take great pride in being "slandered" by disreputable people such as them. I personally think that OSA ought to have T-shirts with those comments emblazoned upon them so we can go to the gun shows and stand in front of them. Sadly, I don't remember the exact phrase used against us by the promoter, but maybe one of the others will remember it.

You can buy or build an AR that is more reliable, milspec, and not hatchet jobed. In the unlikely event that something breaks on any gun you buy from a reputable manufacturer, it'll be covered by that manufacturer. You don't need to pay extra for a middle man warranty.

Rijas is nowhere near the quality of the reputable manufacturers.

Having formerly been a manager in retail and service businesses, I can assure you that a guarantee is only as good as the company behind that guarantee. Perhaps someone here will step up and honestly say that they were scammed by Rijas with regards to a warranty.

I've been considering the purchase of an AR-15 rifle, and since I am not competent to build my own, if I make that purchase, it will be with a reputable firm. To give an idea of myself, I call myself a "serious, amateur" photographer. That means that even though I don't make my living with photography, I am very willing to spend the extra money to get good quality equipment. It is the same with firearms. If an unknown business such as Rijas offers AR's for the same price as Colt, I have to really question their pricing.

So, if you're willing to spend $1100 dollars, spend it on a known name brand. And then enjoy the experience of that quality brand.

I'm still trying to figure out what a "Class 7 FFL" is.

 

[Traxxis]

That would be darn close to absolute zero (-273.15C). Pretty sure the slightest vibration interacting with the barrel at that point would shatter it. What alloy is the barrel?

bahaha.... Absolute Zero was my first thought too....

Dummies.

does anyone still have the pick of the rifle length gas system with a carbine length free float on it? THat pic should explain everything.
